And to this day, I thought Howie Hoffstedder made the most beautiful bride. LOL Almost died with the expressions on Tom and Don Craig's face. Of course, Alice was in on it. She would do anything for her Bo.

I'll always remember the scene where Alice told Bo that she thought Tom was going to divorce her for all the antics she pulled. Bo told her "if Dr. H divorces you, will you marry me?". Oh the good ole' days.

And I believe this is our first mention of prisms which will grow into the MULTI year story (it serious had so many different parts, I kept forgetting it was the same story going on) "The 3 Ps - the Prisms, the Pawn, & the Power"

WEEK OF JULY 30 - AUGUST 3, 1984Customs agent Harold was found murdered. Before his death, Harold passed a safe-deposit box key to Tom, who's unaware that the box contains the mystery computer disk.

A mystery man tailed Bo and Hope, who had joined Bo (and Larry) in New Orleans. Blanche was murdered after she discovered some notes Harold had made in a diary. Maxwell received a second computer disk that contained the info on the prisms in Maxwell's art exhibit. Tess fled from Barry, who beat her up. Later, Chris beat Barry bloody after Tess confessed she was a battered wife. Diane arrived in New Orleans. Bo lied that he had killed Diane, but Maxwell's henchman, Carlton, insisted on seeing her "body." Melissa warned Pete that Don suspected that Pete had shot Mickey.

Interesting that no mention of Shane is made in either set of synopses for the time he first appeared -- probably because he was only somewhat of a background character that TPTB hadn't decided to make into Shane Donovan yet. lol Also, in other soap goings on, it's quite apparent to me that DAYS went to New Orleans to compete with the 1984 Summer Olympics programming on ABC which was pre-empting a LOT of ABC's soap programming at this time. And Santa Barbara premiered on Monday, July 30 (also timed to happen during the Olympics to take advantage of ABC's soap opera pre-emptions).

WEEK OF AUGUST 13 - AUGUST 17, 1984Bo went bananas when he and Carlton found Diane murdered. Given credit for Diane's death, Bo was accepted into Maxwell's cartel. Tony gave Kimberly a photography job. Bo and Howie stole the mystery prism from Maxwell's art exhibit. A mystery man who attacked Howie fell into the river with the prism in his grasp. Kimberly realized that someone's out to get her. Liz fretted over Neil, who had nightmares about the blank hospital forms Maxwell forced him to sign. Calliope feared that Tony and Kimberly will kill each other since their zodiac signs conflict. Chris insisted Tess must decide if she wants to be with Chris or Barry.WEEK OF AUGUST 20 - AUGUST 24, 1984Liz fretted over Neil's weird behavior, while Maxwell nixed letting Neil off the blackmail hook. Howie searched for Bo to tell him that the prism is at the bottom of the Mississippi River. Howie's being tailed by hitman Shane. Melissa is unaware that Pete's working as a male stripper in order to earn money for their future. Bo and Hope staged a mock wedding, romped in the sack, and then vowed they'll always love each other. Tony was curious to spot a wad of money in Kimberly's purse right after she told him that she's penniless. Megan flared her mean temper at Maxwell, whom she pressured to reunite her with Bo.

Reading all of these warms my heart but makes me miss my maternal Grandmother too he got me hooked on Days. She's no longer alive but she quit Days around 1990. She'd had it and when you see the great synopsis here you understand why. Thanks Matt as always it is truly appreciated :hail:
